Hello (again) world

FreeBSD's BeastieAre you like me, do you like to roll with the changes? Well I have, as you can see, with a move to WordPress from the cool, but unstable Typo. My Typo experience was a blast, but honestly I just don’t have the time to babysit a webapp running on my server (which I’m already looking after) that seemed to prefer to bomb out than work more often than not. So, welcome to fak3r.com – the WordPress edition. Migration of articles was a snap, I just had to set the number of articles the RSS feed would generate in Typo to 750 (funny thing was when I tried to do this in the Admin section it bombed with ‘Application Error (Rails)’ so I had to go into the DB by hand and tune it), save the feed.xml file and then import it via WP’s RSS importer. All of the articles, along with the categories, came right over. The only thing is the comments, importing the comments RSS feed from Typo just puts them all in as other articles, not good. So, for now, no comments were transfered, but I’ll keep working on it. I could tell you more but hey, let’s just move on; I’m happy enough to be able to post again!

    I like the new look! I run WordPress myself, and I definitely enjoy how easy it is to use — especially considering how very little geek I speak.

    Here’s hoping we hear more from you soon!

    Hey, good to hear from you, you’re my first post on the new site. Still kicking the tires a bit, but I really like WP in that there are so many more options, plus things are ‘just working’ which my other blog didn’t do all the time. I hear ya on the geek talk, it’s in my nature but it’s not all I want to talk about, so now that I’ll have more time to post (instead of trying to get my blog software to *let* me post) look for more on art, musak, beer and blah.

    FYI – comments are migrated over too. Still need to figure out some rewrite rules so old links from Typo still work here in WP (see my verbose forum query here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/76914?replies=1#post-398723), and then repath some images and we’ll be all moved in.
